What does code C0576 mean?

Q: What does code C0576 mean?

Brake Pressure Sensor D Circuit High. C0576 means the antilock braking system (ABS) control module has detected an abnormally high voltage on the signal circuit from brake pressure sensor D, which is one of the hydraulic pressure sensors used to monitor brake apply pressure. The computer expects the sensor's output to stay within a calibrated voltage window, and a sustained high reading tells it the circuit is open, shorted to voltage, or the sensor itself has failed.
